  "account": "Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil is anticipated to be sidelined for the majority of the 2026 season following a torn triceps injury, according to an NFL Network report. The five-time Pro Bowler sustained the injury during practice on Saturday. Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowler, underwent surgery as part of the reported injury. Tunsil was acquired by the Commanders in a trade with Houston in March 2025, and he started 14 of 17 games last season. The team signed a two-year, $60.2 million contract extension with Tunsil during the offseason. With Tunsil sidelined, Washington will need to find a replacement for the critical left tackle position. Options include moving Andrew Wylie or Josh Conerly Jr. to the left side, bringing in Brandon Coleman from an earlier draft, or making a new acquisition before the team's regular-season opener on September 13 at Philadelphia.",
